Call the Air Liquide office nearest you (on the back of this brochure) to initiate an evaluation of your nitrogen requirement.

we will identify the optimal nitrogen supply solution for your

facility by:

• Determining accurate nitrogen usage patterns

• Evaluating opportunities to optimize nitrogen consumption

• Considering growth potential and the impact on future nitrogen requirements

• Identifying potential cost savings

Upon completion of the evaluation,

Air Liquide specialists will work with you

to select a properly sized APSA supply

system. our proposal will outline:

Sample APSA Power Curve (Nitrogen Flow vs. Power)

APSA Advanced Product Supply Approach• Air Compression: Air is compressed in a rotary screw compressor.

This compressor provides the efficient turndown that is a characteristic of an APSA.

• Air Purification: Impurities, such as Co2 and water, are removed in

molecular sieve beds and filters.

• Heat Exchange: A heat exchanger simultaneously cools the air to

the distillation column while it warms the products from the distillation

column. In this way, the column is kept cold without the use of a

rotating equipment.

• Distillation: The liquefied air is separated into its components in

a distillation column.

• Liquid Storage: Liquid nitrogen provides a supply of refrigeration to

make up for heat losses from the distillation column. This liquid nitrogen

also provides a backup supply of nitrogen.
